Configuring Local SNMPv3 Users

Use the Administration > SNMP (Configure User - Add SNMPv3 Local User) page to authorize
management access for SNMPv3 clients, or to identify the source of SNMPv3 trap messages sent
from the local switch. Each SNMPv3 user is defined by a unique name. Users must be configured
with a specific security level and assigned to a group. The SNMPv3 group restricts users to a
specific read, write, and notify view.
